Running title: Two species of genus Monopis (Lepidoptera, Tineidae) by feather trap in Korea.
M AN U
ABSTRACT
Two species of tined moths, Monopis longella (Walker, 1863) and M. congestella (Walker, 1864) have been collected using artificial feather traps in Korea. M. congestella (Walker, 1864) is reported for the first time from Korea. This is the first report of the use of feather traps to collect moths Korea. Biological information regarding M. longella and M. congestella are presented for the first time in Korea. The adults are briefly described and illustrated, including the male and female genitalia.

Key words: Tineidae, Tineinae, Monopis, feather trap, new record.
Introduction
Many species of the subfamily Tineinae such as Tinea, Niditinea, and Monopis have been reported
EP
in bird nests, feces, and wool products. The larvae of these moths feed on keratin and chitin sources such as feathers, fur, pellets, arthropod remains, guano, and wool (Robinson & Nielsen 1993; Robinson 1998). The genus Monopis Hübner is characterized as having a forewing with a
AC C
characteristic subhyaline spot in the discoidal cell and M3 stalked with CuA1, rod shaped saccus and the inner surface of valva with dense patch of setae in the male genitalia. The genus currently comprises about 100 named species, which are widespread and diverse throughout the Old World, but poorly represented in the New World (Robinson & Nielsen 1993). There are 36 species in the Palaearctic and Oriental regions (Xiao & Li 2006), five of which were reported to occur in Korea (Park et al 2012; Byun et al 2014). In this study, two species of tined moths, Monopis longella (Walker, 1863) and Monopis congestella (Walker, 1864) have been collected using artificial feather trap in Korea. Monopis congestella (Walker 1864) is reported for the first time from Korea. This is the first report of collecting moths by a feather trap in Korea. Biological information regarding M. longella and M. congestella are presented for the first time in Korea. The adults are briefly described and illustrated, including male and female genitalia.

Materials and methods The feather traps containing feathers, pellets, and feces of a raptorial bird were used to attract moths to a trap (Figures 1, 2). We set two feather traps at each of two localities: Mt. Cheonchuk in Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Mt. Gyeyang in Incheon-si. Each trap was set in a tree at a height of
RI PT
approximately 3 meter from July to September 2014. The feather traps were constructed from a polyethylene net (Ø10 x 50 cm) and coated wire (Ø3 mm), with 200 to 300 grams of feathers, pellets, and feces of a raptorial bird placed in each traps. After being retrieved from the field, feathers and pellets from the traps were separated from detritus, and identified moth larvae were reared in a rearing cage. Images of adults and genitalia were taken with a Cannon EOS 50D digital camera attached to a

Cannon EF 100 mm F2.8 Macro USM lens and a Leica DM 2500 microscope. Voucher specimens were deposited in the Animal Diversity Laboratory, College of Life Sciences, Incheon National
